    I love this, I was 14 in 88. Plus, Mel Allen, I feel bad kids today don't have the old school broadcasting.

    It's pretty incredible to look back and see how Oakland assembled a team with a bunch of over-the-hill pitchers, transformed them into all-star-level pitchers, and built the best team in baseball for the next 3 seasons. Major credit to Tony La Russa and Dave Duncan.

    The music that's used beginning at the 22:44 mark is "Money 59" by John Devereaux and Andy Clark. In 1988, ABC Sports used "Money 59" in its opening for their Monday Night Baseball telecasts.

      The worst ever actually. That team had Cal Ripken, Eddie Murray, and Fred Lynn and still went 0-21. They were bad, no question. But 0-21? The chance of a team with a .355 winning percentage (their final mark) losing their first 21 is about 1 out of 10,000. Some of it was just a sad fluke. I know because I watched the whole depressing thing.
